A tach is an easy install. It should come with instructions. If your car is still 6 volts it may be hard to find one that will work. If it is 12 volts just follow the instructions and you should have no trouble.

ok, thank you.
do you know if most of them come with all required wires? and yes it was converted to 12v before i got it.
i just want to make sure i get it right the first time.

You will need to run one wire from the distributor side of the coil, otherwise all connections can be made under the dash.
